The Orchid-Talk group evolved from a Yahoo-group called uk-orchids. In February 2001 it was decided to move away from the advertisement-driven hosting service so the new Orchid-Talk mailing list and website are hosted and maintained privately. The group was re-named Orchid-Talk to better reflect its purpose and to acknowledge that although the majority of the members are UK-based, we also have members from all areas of the world. The Orchid-Talk mailing list is available as either individual messages or in digest form, where several postings are combined into one longer message.

We are a friendly group and new members are welcome, whether expert or beginner.
